It's a showdown for the ages as the legendary hero takes on the Corpse God necromancer, but when the dust settles, something isn't quite right... In the final moments of their epic confrontation, the Corpse God's final gambit shot was wholly unexpected—reincarnation magic! Across space and time, a boy named Polka Shinoyama awakens feeling...not quite himself...Who could've expected that the climactic battle between good and evil would turn out like this??
Far from the peaceful life he'd imagined, the Corpse God-now inhabiting the body of Polka Shinomiya-has fallen in with the very hit men who were hired to kill his new vessel. His association with the darker side of Shibuya brings him face-to-face with Lemmings, whose masked facade cannot hide his fearsome, inhuman nature from the Corpse God's Evil Eye. With all the deadly powers abounding, Shinjuku is in a frenzy...and the true death play has begun.
The family of Polka Shinoyama can't help noticing he's not quite himself, but discovering the young heir has been taken over by a necromancer from another world...?! Rozan Shinoyama isn't sure what to make of his son's transformation, but there's no denying this usurper is responsible for saving his twin grandchildren. The fire that would have claimed their lives has also caught the attention of the Phantom Solitaire, one of the police's slipperiest troublemakers. Known for his clever tricks, Solitaire craves a taste of real magic, which puts him hot on the trail of one unsuspecting Corpse God!
A mysterious mark from Corpse God's previous life is in the sky, reminding him of the turmoil he left behind. But what what connection does it have to the modern world he has established himself in? More importantly, why are people willing to kill to keep it secret...?
